Willow Pov

I run back to the house and I can hear Gabi running after me and calling my name

"my name is Weef" I shout and stop and turn around

Gabi also stops

"what so did willow tell you that story?" gabi shout back

"you can't know, gabs. it's dangerous"

"and? I don't give. you will always be my best friend"

"no Gabi, I am not your best friend, get that in your head. cause if anyone finds out that you know that we are alive you could die. you cant know" I cant feel my self tearing up

"you okay" I hear mahic say behind me

"so is this Mahic?" Gabi says this time walking towards me

"no its Mark" I say trying to get it in her head that she can not call us that

"stop hiding it, willow, this is Mahic and your willow and all the other tributes are living in the capitol with other lives. just admit it please" she says almost in tears

"Gabi, its killing me," I start to admit it and mahic tries to stop me but I don't listen "it really is, going around here pretending I have no clue what anything or who anyone is, you don't understand gabs this is dangerous for you and its dangerous not just for me but also Robbie and Noah. you cant tell one soul, not one" I say by this time I am right in front of Gabi face to face "you need to promise me" I whisper

"I promise" she whispers back

"Weef we need to leave" Mahic says behind me grabbing my hand

why is he calling me Weef? I look to my left and, my whole family is standing at the door, Thorn is there in tears and papa hay is in shock

"shit" I whisper and both myself and Mahic run inside grab our bags and run to the train station

shit. shit. shit.

Rye Pov

I am helping my mother making lunch and I start hearing shouting outside

"whos that" I ask and the whole family look out the window and see Gabi and weef shouting

we open the window and thorn opens the door slowly so they don't notice us

and they start having a fight about if she is willow or not

shit I think

please don't admit

please don't

hoping willow doesn't

and she does, and Mahic is right there and I can see thorn tearing up realising that he is her brother

Willow sees us all listening and so does Mahic

and they run and get there stuff and run to the train station

thorn collapses and my parents are in shock

"guys" I say and everyone looks at me "you cant say anything, just forget it happened" I sigh and go back to making lunch

"does that mean Robbie is alive" aunt annie says

"no!" I snap " none of them are alive! they arnt!" I shout the last bit and run upstairs

Gabi Pov

oh shit

what have I done

I hear rye shout

"they aren't alive guys, we watched them die" I say walking past them into the house

"what so you saying my brother aint alive" thorn snaps

"are you freaking kidding me" I shout at them "don't you understand" I am getting frustrated "if anyne finds out we know the truth we are dead. willow is dead. mahic is dead. Robbie is dead" I say, they all still stare at me blank like a lost puppy "urghhhh" I groan. "its not safe for us. if it wasn't dangerous willow would have told, us" I say hoping there getting the point "they are dead, we watched them die. we are going to there funeral next week and corrie is coming round to give his sorrys. now unfortunetly weef and Mark needed to go so that means more lunch" I laugh and try and make the room more lively

Thorn Pov

no it cant be Mahic

as soon as Gabi finishes her speech I run to the train station hoping to catch them

and they are there sitting on the bench

I run up to them

"i just want to know" I say "why did you volunteer?"

he looks at me blankly

please answer

he says nothing and I start walking off

"i had no choice" I hear him say

I turn round

"the capitol made me, they said if I didn't volunteer they would take you to the capitol and I couldn't live with that" he continues

"why couldn't they have made someone else"

"because I was the strongest in 2, they wanted someone who could win the games and not make district 2 look shit infront of the capitol" he still doesn't look at me

"oh okay, well see ya" is all I can think of to say and start walking off

"wait!" I hear him say I turn round and just like that he gives me a hug

I give him a massive hug and ive missed his hugs

he lets go and takes hold of my cheeks

"stay strong goergous" he whispers and kisses me on the forehead and heads back to the seat next to willow, where she is smiling

I miss him

but I understand now

I understand why he left

I at least know that he isn't dead but I also know that he isn't Mahic any more

and that's what I'm going to miss most
